Explicación: Para que comprendas por qué se utiliza de esta manera, te lo explicaré así: El pasado continuo habla de algo que estabas haciendo en un momento determinado cuando algo más ocurrió (ej: yo estaba haciendo), como también para hablar de dos o más cosas que ocurrieron al mismo tiempo (ej: yo estaba haciendo la tarea y escuchaba gente gritando en la calle), planes que no se pudieron cumplir (ej: estaba buscando una chaqueta nueva [=pero no pude encontrar ninguna] ), etc. Te recomiendo que estudies con varios sitios web de gramática inglesa para poder comprender mejor, y además podrás aprender de manera divertida! Espero haberte ayudado.
Las oraciones en pasado continuo hablan de acciones que estaban sucediendo en pasado pero que fueron interrumpidas por otra acción, se forman usando el verbo to be en pasado y el verbo -ing.
